An incomplete fragment from the head and upper bow of a cast copper alloy Roman trumpet brooch dating from AD 75 - 175. The fragment of the brooch is distorted with the bow being further bent and distorted - probably deliberately in antiquity. The head of the brooch is oval in plan. The reverse of it is divided by a vertical rectangular bar which is pierced at the mid-point. It is through this hole that the spring / pin would have been fixed. Both the pin and spring are lost. The head of brooch tapers from a flared upper bow and then expands with a thickened ridge below which three moulded bands of decoration are present. The bow is brooch is broken across the lower bow. The reverse of the brooch is flattened apart from the remains of the three moulded bands. The catchplate, lower bow and foot are all lost. The upper bow is heavily decorated with both cast and incised designs. Either side of the head are single well modelled and proportioned debased triskele like whorls, each of the three arms terminates in a C shaped scroll and the junction of the arms has a hollow lozenge / diamond shaped panel. The whorls are deeply incised and it is possible that a coloured glass or enamel was inset within the design. Below these whorls set on the hump of the bow is a lozenge shaped boss which is divided vertically flanking this are two lentoid raised panels or leaf shapes. The upper and lower of the transverse bands are plain whilst the middle one is faceted and has a beaded collar both above and below. The lower bow - at the point of the break - is triangular and it is likely that the central ridge and flanking sides would all be decorated with designs and / or further enamel work. The brooch is of a dark-mid green colour with an even thick but abraded patina which covers all surfaces. A number of similar brooches of this type can be seen in Richard Hattatt's (2000) Visual Catalogue of Ancient Brooches; page 326-328. All the brooches in this section are dated to the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. Parallels can also be found on the database discovered in Myddle and Broughton, Shropshire (HESH-A07EB4) and Worfield, Shropshire (HESH-128446). McKreath (2011) also illustrates a similarly triskelle decorated trumpet brooch (Vol II p 83 / plate 80 No 4962) which has no provenance.
The brooch fragment measures 30.4mm in length, 10.66mm width (across the circular head of the brooch), 7.91mm thick (across the central moulding), and weighs 8.2 grams.

A copper alloy nail possibly dating from the Roman period to the Medieval period (AD 43-AD500) although more likely dating to the Roman period.
The nail is square sectioned with a convex circular globular shaped head. The body of the nail tapers to a blunted square sectioned terminal. The shaft tapers at an angle rather than straight. This has possibly suffered damage in the plough soil. The nail has a mid-dark green even coloured patina with smooth surfaces. The body of the nail has small possible filling marks. There are no further marks or decoration on the nail. Allason-Jones and Miket (1984) illustrate a similar example excavated at South Shields Roman fort. The short length of this object may suggest it was used as a functional item to secure or decorate furniture rather than used as personal adornment such as a hair pin. Functional items such as this can be harder to date precisely.
The nail measures 37.63 mm in length, 6.79 mm thickness (at the square shaft), 13.69 mm is the diameter of the circular head and the nail weighs 10g.

An incomplete cast copper alloy Colchester derivative Polden Hill brooch of Roman date (AD 980-120). The rearward facing hook is missing its tip, one of the wings and cap, the spring, pin, foot and catch plate are missing.
The remaining wing on the right hand side is cylindrical with a perforated wing / end cap. The remains of the rearward facing hook is visible, this is located at the centre of the bow on the upper edge. However the tip is missing. The rear of the brooch head where the spring would once have been has a sub-circular indentation. There is iron corrosion present that could suggest that the pin and axis bar were made of iron. This corrosion may also be where a fixing agent was originally placed in to the rear of the brooch to hold the axis bar in place. The bow head is hump-like, and slightly angular (comma shaped) in profile. The bow tapers to a broken terminal. The catch-plate on the rear has been lost due to the break. The bow of the brooch is decorated with a raised vertical rib at each outer edge where it meets the wings. There is no decoration present on the rear of the brooch. The brooch has a light to mid green coloured patina across all surfaces.
There are many similar examples on the database that have been found in Bidford on Avon, Warwickshire (WAW-E3B44C), Telford and Wrekin area (HESH-64216D) and Middleton, North Warwickshire (WMID-97842C). Bayley and Butcher (2004:160) comment that the distribution of Polden Hill brooches are concentrated in the West Midlands. Similar brooches can be seen in Richard Hattatt's (2000: 300 fig; 159, no.24) and Bayley and Butcher (2004: 89-92).
The brooch measures 26.04 mm length, 16.71 mm width (across wings), 4.22mm thick at the top of the bow, and weighs 5.2 grams.

A fragment of an unidentified object of probable Roman date (AD43-410). The object is broadly rectangular in section. In section the object is 'D' shaped. At the upper edge of the object is a suspension loop. The loop has a broadly circular piercing which is located through the side of the object as opposed from the front to the back of the object. Below this is a rectangular moulded collar that projects either side of the outer edge of the object. The stem of the object then projects from the collar with straight sides to a broken lower edge. The front face of the stem is convex. The reverse face of the object is flat. Both faces are undecorated. The object has a mid-brown to green patina across all of its surfaces. In appearance and form it suggests a Roman date, circa AD 43-410. The function of the object is unknown.
The object fragment measures 19.33mmin length, 8.47mmin width, 4.42mmin thickness and weighs 2.3 grams.

An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman Aesica brooch dating to circa (AD 50-75). The upper bow is complete and the partial remains of one wing cap. The opposing wing cap, axis bar, pin, foot and catch plate are missing. The brooch has the left hand wing partially intact that is semi-cylindrical in profile. The upper bow is broadly triangular in plan with expanded knopped terminals in the bottom corners. On the lower edge of the triangular bow is a narrowed moulded collar comprised of two horizontal ribs. The collar extends to a broken terminal from which originally the lower fantail section of the brooch would have extended. The brooch is decorated with a central vertical rib that begins just below the upper edge of the bow and terminates at the lower edge of the triangular bow. On the reverse of the brooch, the spring and pin are missing and there is no decoration. The brooch has a fairly even mid green coloured patina.
A similar brooch can be seen illustrated in Mackreth (2011 plate 29) nos 6125. This style of brooch dates from c. AD 50-75. There are many similar examples on the database that have been discovered in East Dorset (DOR-F4C3D2) and the Stratford upon Avon district, Warwickshire (LEIC-C3DC80).

A Roman copper alloy Trulla or pan handle dating to the second century AD. The pan handle consists of a single flat piece of copper alloy. The handle has a curved upper edge with a large semi-circular perforation. The curve of the perforation mirrors the curve of the upper edge of the handle. Below the upper curved edge the handle broadens around the perforation where there are two animal heads flanking the outer edge of the object. Below the perforation the handle then tapers to a flat broken edge that has two small circular perforations at each corner. The two zoomorphic figures flanking the semi-circular perforation are possibly representing birds or crocodiles. The detail of the animal is comprised of a curved incision that extends from the corner of the semi-circular perforation to the outer edge of the handle, this represents the curved head of the animal. The rounded heads of the creature form the outer edge of the handle. The creature has been decorated with a lentoid shaped eye incision and circular shaped pupil. The beak of the animal extends beyond the outer edge of the handle. Below the eye is the mouth which consists of a single incision that extends from below the eye to the edge of the beak. There are vertical incisions extending above and below the mouth which may represent teeth. The same design is mirrored on the opposing side of the perforation. The reverse of the handle is flat and does not contain any further decoration. The object has a well-developed surface patina that is a light through to dark green in colour. There are no further parallels on the database however Sally Worrell, National Finds Advisor for the scheme has found a parallel for this object from the continent. The parallel was discovered in Liege, Belgium and is illustrated in Faider-Feytmans, G. (1979) Les bronzes romains de Belqique.
The two small circular perforations are evidence that the handle may have been adapted and had a secondary purpose. Martin Henig, Honorary Professor at UCL Institute of Archaeology comments 'The thinness (of the handle) is no problem so many of them are, but I wonder either whether the two holes signify repair or whether it had a secondary use as a votive. Some of them have profiles which curve in and then curve out towards the body of the pan. This seems to have been snapped off at the midpoint of the curve'.
The objects measures 102 mm in length, 50.79 mm in width (across the widest point where the animal heads are depicted) 2.55 mm thickness and weighs 40.56 g.

A fragment of a copper alloy, Roman Polden Hill type brooch dating to (c.AD75-AD175). The fragment consists of the bow and head of the brooch. The spring, pin, foot and catchplate are missing. The bow head is hump-like, and slightly angular (comma shaped) in profile. The bow tapers to a broken terminal that would have formed the foot and catchplate on the reverse. The object has a light to mid-green coloured patina. Bayley and Butcher (2004:160) comment that the distribution of Polden Hill brooches are concentrated in the West Midlands. Similar brooches can be seen in Richard Hattatt (2000) (pp 300 fig; 159) many of these examples also have the rib decoration. Bayley and Butcher (2004) (p 159 fig. 128). There are many examples on the database that have been discovered across the country, such as Richard's Castle Shropshire (HESH-1651B5Z) and the Rugby district, Warwickshire (WMID-C979FB).
The fragment measures 20.73 mm in length, 10.45 mm in width, 8.45 mm thick at the bow and weighs 3.61 grams.

An incomplete cast copper alloy Colchester derivative brooch of Roman date (AD75-175). The foot and catchplate are lost as is the spring and pin. The bow head is hump-like, and slightly angular (comma shaped) in profile. On the reverse of the head at the upper edge are the remains of a hook that would have once held the spring in place. The wings are 'D' shaped in cross section. The bow is also D shaped cross -section. It extends to a broken and eroded point above the foot. The catchplate and pin rest are lost - the catchplate would have been formed from a single rib which descends on the reverse of the bow from the head. The bow is decorated with two linear ribs at either outer edge that run the length of the bow. The wings are also decorated; this consists of a central raised rib with two thinner ribs at either side. The decoration is duplicated on both of the wings. The brooch has a mid-greenish coloured patina. The brooch is a Colchester derivative possible (Polden Hill) type. Bayley and Butcher (2004:160) comment that the distribution of Polden Hill brooches are concentrated in the West Midlands.
Similar brooches can be seen in Richard Hattatt (2000) (pp 300 fig; 159) many of these examples also have the rib decoration. Bayley and Butcher (2004) (p 159 fig. 128). There are many examples on the database that have been discovered across the country, such as Richard's Castle Shropshire (HESH-1651B5Z) and the Rugby district, Warwickshire (WMID-C979FB)
The brooch measures 19.82mm length, 23.65mm width (across wings), 4.05mm thick across bow and it weighs 5.36 grams.
